About to post the same thing...properly setup deck with high BTS and high lift blades will stripe nice especially with grasses that have long blades that bend and lay easily. I can stripe the hell out of some Zoysia and Bahia but Bermuda while it stripes it does it to a lesser degree without a stripe kit IMHO

O yea....I often forget about that type of grass thing. I live in the North East where I can stripe any grass type with minimal effort with my setup. I run a properly setup Ferris, however I see plenty of other Ferris' out there that dont leave much stripes at all. They are most likely never been adjusted or touched from the factory.

What year and model Ferris do you have? Factory blades? Deck size?
My 72” 3200 doesn’t seem to stripe as well as I think it should. I’ve set the blades to at least 1/4” pitch too. I’ve got the stripe flap on also.

FW35, any blades stripe, but best results for cut and stripe I use G5's and a shredding blade in doubles. Have a stripe flap as well.

With a 72" deck and the longer blades under them, try going to 3/8" or even 1/2" pitch on the blades and see what your stripes look like. I have had 60" decks that striped best with 3/8" on the blades, so it might very well improve yours too, again due to the longer length of the blades.
